Chasing Waterfalls

TLC is alive! After a month of the Lorenzo Brown treatment and the highest EZ-Pass bill on the east coast, Timothé Luwawu-Cabbarot seems as if he will stick around in the big leagues.

Luwawu-Cabbarot is an instant fit physically in the NBA. He has elite quickness – watch him kick it into third gear on this drive. He’ll be very dangerous attacking off the catch in Brett Brown’s maze of hand-offs and curls.

He’s already figuring out how to mold his raw physical tools into final goods. He is excellent at teasing his jump shot on a recovering defender to blow by with his quickness. He brings you to a screeching halt with his pump fake before skirting by your tire tracks.

Luwawu’s offense is still very rudimentary at this stage. He needs to diversify his portfolio, and he is clearly timid around the rim. Notice how his eyes are glued to the ground in fear of a turnover before the release.

It’s hard to shoot at what you can’t see. After more reps and natural physical development, he’ll gain his poise and be a dangerous finisher. I’m in on TLC.
